For as long as she can remember, JoLecia has been drawn to the art in the myriad details that surround us: the soft pink of a cherry blossom; the beauty of a piece of driftwood, greyed and softened by its journey through the tides; the fluid lines and rich colors of fall leaves. These are the things she draws inspiration from.

After years of bouncing between mediums, she found her niche in polymer clay, a chameleon that can become aged bronze, richly grained wood, a deep translucent jade, or a delicate bloom. It’s a medium with endless possibilities that allows her to translate the details in nature that inspire her into wearable pieces of art.

She is self-taught, learning through exploration and a healthy dose of staring off into space envisioning, but she is also a teacher who draws as much joy from creating as she does sharing and helping others discover their own creativity through this versatile medium.
